Any hard case lipos. Setup just go with kit James and take it from there. You can get a few runs in Saturday to test it.

Given that the race starts at 3pm, and there will be scrutineering followed by a two hour break to make changes what sort of time should we be aiming to arrive please - what time will doors be opened, will there be prior runtime? Remember drivers there will likely be traffic given the Download Festival.
Also, I'm curious as to how the grid order will be decided.... |

Doors are open at 10. John will confirm but I think it just pull a number out of a hat after all you've got 24 hours to make it up

The Lemans 24hrs starts at 3pm french time... 2pm UK Will the time start time be changed to bring us inline?
We'll (WMCC) be at Ardent from Friday afternoon/evening. Good idea to avoid traffic problems |

Next weekend is also the British round of the MotoGP. Thankfully (or not as the case may be) the GP was moved from Donington Park to Silverstone a couple of years back, so that has made getting around / to / from Ardent a lot easier otherwise i would imagine it would be a nightmare because the GP weekend at Donington was always hectic & would give everyone more of a hard time than any other event (other than the promised return of F1) held just over the garden fence in the grounds of Castle Donington.

OK doors open 10am on Saturday, race starts 2PM UK TIME we'll be there to draw our pit and rostrum position out of the hat and get set up ready for the race.
Looking forwards to it guys! I don't think the Download festival at Donington will affect our arrival or departure to be honest. But if someone local would put Callum and I up on Friday night we'd obviously jump at the chance ;-) |

Could we get some practice in before scrutineering? Maybe even push scrutineering back a bit. I might be missing something but would it take 1 hour an 30 mins to check all the cars. |

Deffo going to need a bit of setting up practice John. We only got the car Friday, It hasn't turned a wheel yet!
Oh, and any news on the lighting kit? |

if it's an consolation my own team hasn't yet run our car on the test tyres on the new circuit yet, and we won't get chance until Saturday too. The 15 minute Scrutineering rule is only when we pull cars off during racing to do spot checks. Everyone will undergo 2 x 15 minute spot checks. Why so long? It's to guarantee it's the same time for everyone. It may take us 2 minutes, but the car will sit there for exactly 15 minutes. :-) |

Im talking about the hour an 30 min scrutineering done between 11 an 12:30. It would be nice to have a little longer for practice, only because our 2 keighley teams dont have a set-up for the car or an idea what gearing to do. There was going to be a set-up posted but we've since been told to run kit set-up an work from there. 30 mins to do those changes an 6 drivers to try them is going to work out at about 3 mins per driver. Like i said, it would be nice to have longer for practice if you could fit it in, but if you cant, no probs. We're aiming to get there just before 10 to allow for traffic/pit stops. |

Setup changes appear to make bugger all differance to handling due to the amount of slop in everything and fact that anything designed to keep oil in, shocks/diffs, doesnt. |

As a member of Dez's team, I can also vouch for V1nce's comments. We've had quite a bit of track time with two spare cars and it would appear that the best strategy is going to be keep it stock and keep it clean! Nothing we did made the handling better (several things we tried made it worse!) and when we broke a belt it took half an hour to change it. You don't want to be smashing these things around!
